Amin Taziny

  • Doctoral Candidate
  • GAANN Fellow
  • AEROSPACE ENGINEERING SCIENCES

Background

Amin graduated with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Binghamton University. As a SOARS protégé, he used numerical methods to study ionospheric dynamics at the National Center for Atmostpheric Research and the Space Weather Prediction Center at NOAA. In 2019, he was awarded the GAANN (Graduate Assistantships in Areas of National Need) Fellowship, a program supported by the U.S. Department of Education to increase the number of Ph.D. graduates in areas identified as critical to U.S. interests and to help diversify the aerospace workforce. Amin's doctoral research is funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, where he is building high-fidelity computational models of electrospray propulsion systems.
